Eagles Of Death Metal returned to Paris to perform for the first time since the November terror attacks in a defiant stand against terrorism.

The American rockers bravely took to the stage alongside U2 on Monday night, who were headlining at the AccorHotels Arena.

Less than a month ago on Friday, November 13 Eagles were performing a short distance away at the Bataclan theatre when terrorists stormed the venue and opened fire on fans killing 89.

U2 had been scheduled to perform the next day at the same venue, but the concert was postponed in the wake of the attacks. And last night the band were victorious as they took to the stage to perform Power To The People.

Welcoming them, Bono said: "They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago and we would like to offer them ours tonight."

Bono and Eagles frontman Jesse Hughes, 43, sung together while Jesse, who was cheered on by the crowds, yelled: "Is everybody here having a good time?"

Before wrapping the French flag around him Jesse yelled: "I f *** ing love you guys so much and I will never stop rock and rolling."

Prior to that the gig was highly politicised with images of the bombed out town of Kobani in Syria projected on a huge screen.

Professor Stephen Hawkins voice was projected saying "let us be one...and our future be a place we want to visit" while an image of the world with the hashtag #refugeeswelcome appeared.

During “In the Name of Love,” the names of all 130 victims who were killed in seven different co-ordinated attacks were displayed on a screen in the arena, which holds 20,000 people.

“If you love liberty, Paris is your hometown,” Bono told the crowd.

Security was beefed up with armed guards and heavy security checks.

But punters were jubilant performing Mexican waves and singing along to most songs.

Fan Virginie Ledout said: "My friend was in the Bataclan, she survived, so I came here to support Eagles when I heard they were playing.

"We have to stand strong and this concert has been a celebration of peace, freedom and great music. I've had a great time." Another fan Bertrand Hodot added: "This has been a great night for the French public, I was here to support the Eagles, it has been a really inspirational night."

Reports emerged on Friday that Eagles would join U2 onstage for their final song.
